GMLP started in 2011 and that was our first batch. It took us time to create awareness across manufacturing professionals, but the programme has built strength by strength every year with the applications surpassing previous years. We receive applications from professionals working in Indian companies as well as global multinationals. We receive significant number of applications from diverse industries as well as geographies. GMLP provides the selected member to be groomed on the skills for a leader while working in the manufacturing locations.
